I did manage to get it to compile (though not work fully just yet), however I had to use the full pthreads library rather than our minimal implementation. That's why I question whether we should go this way - an extra dependency (pthreads is not normally on a Windows box, even with Msys) to test an OS that we know 100% for sure is not going to vary in it's thread-safetyness(!) from system to system.
